The Seminar Series delivered three seminars: University of Portsmouth (2011), Centre for Development Studies, India (2012) and University of Oxford (2013). The objective of the Seminar Series was to understand the causes and implications of emerging low fertility in developing countries. Each seminar had specially invited senior speakers, mid and early career fellows, policy planners and members of governments and non-governmental organisations. About 100 people from various academic and professional backgrounds from across the globe participated and about 40 presentations were made.
